Imran Khan's Arrest Sparks Widespread Unrest in Pakistan

Pakistan's government has called in the military to help restore order in the capital city of Islamabad and in two provinces following violent protests over the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan on fresh corruption charges. At least five people died during clashes between police and protesters. Khan was remanded in custody for eight days on Wednesday. The military warned any further assaults on the military or law enforcement agencies, state installations and properties "will be met with severe retaliation." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged all parties to refrain from violence and respect the right to peaceful assembly.
